Global stocks fell on the last trading day of 2024, though the S&P 500 is still set for a strong year.
Global shares declined on Monday as the year came to a close, with Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index dropping 1% and key European markets such as Germany's DAX and Britain's FTSE 100 falling 0.4%.
South Korea’s Kospi and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong both lost 0.2%, while the Shanghai Composite index gained 0.2%.
The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were also down 0.3%.
Despite the losses, the S&P 500 is on track for a 25% gain in 2024, marking a second consecutive year of over 20% gains since 1997-1998.
The market growth has been driven by positive economic data and easing inflation, leading to a reversal in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy.
Las acciones globales cayeron en el último día de comercio de 2024, aunque el S&P 500 todavía está fijado para un año fuerte.
